I suppose we could do an 0.5.3/3.5.3 with the security fixes.

...as would everything else in the CVS version. The question is how
many things from the CVS version we'd want to throw into 0.5.3/3.5.3;
for each of the changes, there's probably *somebody* out there who'd
vote for its inclusion, at which point we'd just be releasing 0.6/3.6,
but that'd probably take a fair bit of time to do, and, if one of the
goals is to release something with the security fixes, having that take
a fair bit of time is probably *not* a good idea.

It should work, in the version in CVS.
